Joshua 17:2

There was also [a lot] for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these [were] the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.

There was also a lot for the rest {H3498} of the children {H1121} of Manasseh {H4519} by their families {H4940}; for the children {H1121} of Abiezer {H44}, and for the children {H1121} of Helek {H2507}, and for the children {H1121} of Asriel {H844}, and for the children {H1121} of Shechem {H7928}, and for the children {H1121} of Hepher {H2660}, and for the children {H1121} of Shemida {H8061}: these were the male {H2145} children {H1121} of Manasseh {H4519} the son {H1121} of Joseph {H3130} by their families {H4940}.

So the lot was drawn for the other descendants of M'nasheh according to their families - for the descendants of Avi'ezer, Helek, Asri'el, Sh'khem, Hefer and Sh'mida; these were the male descendants of M'nasheh according to their families.

So this allotment was for the rest of the descendants of Manasseh—the clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These are the other male descendants of the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph.

So the lot was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
